Quick report

Cracking

specific

Toured out toward Ship Creek pass. Plenty of evidence of wind loading on numerous aspects. Widespread shooting cracks in both the new wind affected snow and old wind compacted snow sitting on the ground. Some small collapses. Numerous hand pits failed on isolation 15 to 40 cm deep, failing on the facets sitting above the old crust before that last big storm (3/6). This combined with poor vis turned us around early.
